I don't shoot a lot of flowers so I was a little surprised to run across this shot I took back in January of this year.

Being bored at work I punched up the RAW file for something to do. I have no idea what this plant/flower is but the shot turned out nicely enough...

Hard to tell variety with the fiddled color, but it's an aloe of one sort or the other. If the spike was actually butter yellow, it's aloe vera, if red/red-orange, it's ferox.

Ahhh... Thank you. Aloe plants make perfect sense since everything on campus is supposed to be drought-tolerant.

I didn't tamper with the color, really. I used Auto-Contrast and Unharp Mask, both via Photoshop, but that was it. It's definitely more red/orange than it is yellow, but we have some of those around as well.

Getting much better! Especially enjoying this lens - CZ Jenna Biotar 2/58. When you nail the focus - the images are razor sharp.

Absolute beauty. What is it's name?

It is an epiphyllum; the very old tag says it is called "My Pink Sensation", but the collection (about 45 varieties) was given to the department many years ago and we can only take the names for granted. Epis have been so heavily cross-bred in the last 50 years, named and re-named, I doubt anyone can sort all the cultivars that have come and gone.
